If I remember right the pulley had shims in it to change the speed. Kind of like the variable speed pulley on a combine except you have to remove or add shims to change where the belt rides in the pulley. I had 2 479's and never had a problem with the reels. Is the belt worn or slipping? Don't remember any type of clutch on the reel drive, but there where changes through the years.

Adding/removing shims between reel belt drive sheaves is the way one adjusts the reel speed on a JD Mo-Co so I'd guess a NH haybine is the same way.
